Lithium-sulfur batteries (Figure 2), like solid-state batteries, are poised to overcome the limitations of traditional lithium-ion batteries (Wang et al., 2023). These batteries offer a high theoretical energy density and have the potential to revolutionize energy storage technologies (Wang et al., 2022).
“We were looking for the easiest, cheapest, and fastest way to improve lithium metal cycling life,” said study co-lead author Wenbo Zhang, a Stanford PhD student in materials science and engineering. “We discovered that by resting the battery in the discharged state, lost capacity can be recovered and cycle life increased.
Traditional lithium-ion batteries have been criticized for their use of lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which require significant mining and processing (Llamas-Orozco et al., 2023). However, new battery technologies that use sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium may offer more sustainable alternatives that are more abundant and widely distributed.
